Native. Fast. Visio-compatible. Draught is the pro diagramming tool built exclusively for Apple Silicon — with the shape libraries, precision, and depth that serious work demands.
Zero Electron. Zero web wrappers. Pure SwiftUI on Apple Silicon — snappy even with 1,000-node infrastructure diagrams that make draw.io choke.
Open .vsdx files your Windows colleagues send you. Export back. No layout breakage, no shape mangling — the switcher's unlock.
AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, network gear, electrical — thousands of up-to-date icons. The libraries Visio power users actually need.
Every action has a shortcut. AppleScript and Shortcuts support built in. Power users shouldn't need to touch the mouse for routine tasks.
Snap-to-grid, smart guides, pixel-perfect distribution, multi-shape alignment tools. The kind of control that makes your diagrams look professional.
Named layers, visibility toggles, locked layers. Git-friendly JSON export for version control. Your diagrams are living documents.
